The program ProRaman, developed for the Matlab platform, provides an interactive and flexible graphic interface to develop efficient algorithms to classify Raman spectra into two or three different classes. A set of preprocessing algorithms to decrease the variable dimensionality and to extract the main features which improve the correct classification ratio was implemented. The implemented classification algorithms were based on the Mahalanobis distance and neural network. To verify the functionality of the developed program, 72 spectra from human artery samples, 36 of which had been histopathologically diagnosed as non-diseased and 36 as having an atherosclerotic lesion, were processed using a combination of different preprocessing and classification techniques. The best result was accomplished when the variables were selected from the Raman spectrum shift range from 1200 to 1700 cm(-1), then preprocessed using wavelets for compression and principal component analysis for feature extraction and, finally, classified by a multilayer perceptron with one hidden layer with eight neurons.

Spectral Imaging techniques such as Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman Spectroscopy (RS) enable the localized acquisition of spectral data, providing insights into the presence, quantity, and spatial distribution of chemical elements or molecules within a sample. This significantly expands the accessible information compared to conventional imaging approaches such as machine vision. However, despite its potential, spectral imaging also faces specific challenges depending on the limitations of the spectroscopy technique used, such as signal saturation, matrix interferences, fluorescence, or background emission.

Multiple respiratory viruses can concurrently or sequentially infect the respiratory tract, making their identification crucial for diagnosis, treatment, and disease management. We present a label-free diagnostic platform integrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with deep learning for rapid, quantitative detection of respiratory virus coinfections. Using sensitive silica-coated silver nanorod array substrates, over 1.

Blood carries some of the most valuable biomarkers for disease screening as it interacts with various tissues and organs in the body. Human blood serum is a reservoir of high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) and low molecular weight fraction (LMWF) proteins. The LMWF proteins are considered disease marker proteins and are often suppressed by HMWF proteins during analysis.

Significance: Maximal safe resection of brain tumors can be performed by neurosurgeons through the use of accurate and practical guidance tools that provide real-time information during surgery. Current established adjuvant intraoperative technologies include neuronavigation guidance, intraoperative imaging (MRI and ultrasound), and 5-ALA for fluorescence-guided surgery.
Aim: We have developed intraoperative Raman spectroscopy as a real-time decision support system for neurosurgical guidance in brain tumors.

Forensic gemstone analysis faces many challenges. One of the most critical aspects of gemological research is the classification of a gemstone. It is necessary to understand the mineral species, purity, origin, and identification of treatments to identify and classify a gem correctly, as well as assign a monetary value to it.
